Psalms of David 47
47
PSALM XLVII.
L. M.
1O ALL ye people, clap your hands
And triumphant voices sing:
2No force the mighty pow’r withstands
Of God, the universal King.
3-4He shall opposing nations quell,
And with success our battles fight;
Shall fix the place where we must dwell,
The pride of Jacob, his delight.
5-6God is gone up, our Lord and King,
With shouts of joy and trumpet’s sound;
To him repeated praises sing,
And let the cheerful song go round.
7-8Your utmost skill in praise be shown,
For him, who all the world commands;
Who sits upon his righteous throne,
And spreads his sway o’er heathen lands.
9Our chiefs and tribes, that far from hence
To serve the God of Abr’am came,
Found him their constant sure defence:
How great and glorious is his Name!
